For years I've long said I would get a Rossi .45 Colt 1892 lever action, but it hasn't happened yet. It's currently at the top of my new gun list, but I'm having second thoughts. I reload and the bullets are expensive and hard to get right now for the .45, the .38/.357 it's not great, but it's not as hard hit as .45 Colt is.
So, I have some questions and when I talk .45 Colt I mean both standard SAMMI pressure ammo and hot Ruger only pressure levels. Here's the questions:
1. In a rifle, what does .357/.38 do that .45 Colt can't?
2. In a rifle, what can .45 Colt do that .357/.38 can't?
3. Are there significant reasons to choose one over the other? What if you are a reloader?
Basically, should I stay the course and get the .45 Colt as planned or should I seriously consider getting .357 instead?
Intended use right now is whatever rifle will be a companion piece to my .45 and .38/.357 revolvers.
